Come back with some threadbare curtains (5)
I believe the answer is:
recur
'come back' is the definition.
(recurring is a kind of coming back)
'with some threadbare curtains' is the wordplay.
'with' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'RECUR' is hidden in the letters of 'some threadbare curtains'.
(Other definitions for recur that I've seen before include "Perseverate" , "Repeat" , "Happen repeatedly" , "Happen again or repetitively" , "Come round again" .)
